For a team who, according to people like yourself, have prospered on managerial genius, scouting prowess and the power of youth, I seem to recall a fair few £30m players, ESP at a time when most teams were struggling to spend half that.
So who were all these £30 million players? I note that King Kenny has spunked £100 million quid, which is a pretty expensive league cup…
Only the most myopic people would ignore the fact that Man U have discovered some of the finest players this country has seen in the last few decades. To argue that only Arsenal have developed young talent is utterly laughable. These days they seem content to pinch them from Southampton…
I’m trying to remember the last team that won the title without a significant financial outlay (by the standards of the day). Leeds, I reckon, and that was 20 years ago.
